Course Introduction to Ecometabolomics for Ecologist
Monday 27 August - Tursday 31 August 2018
The course will provide an overview about the application of metabolomics in ecological and biodiversity research. We will explore the tools and approaches that are used to obtain, process and analyse metabolomics data.
Towards a Global One Health: an interdisciplinary lens to explore synergies, trade-offs and pathways for food systems transitions
Monday 27 - Friday 31 August 2018
The health of people, animals, plants and their environments are closely connected. This short course on Global One Health (GOH) aims to foster interdisciplinary thinking on the cutting edge of agricultural production, the food supply chain and nutritional and public health outcomes (human, plant and animal) in the framework of a food systems approach. Using an academically rooted food systems approach, synergies and trade-offs between scientific disciplines, such as social, environmental, microbiological, animal, plant, epidemiological disciplines, will be explored. Also the role of public and private stakeholders in the food system (farm to fork) will be discussed.
Course Matrix Approaches to Health Demography
Monday 5 - Friday 16 November 2018
In this course, matrix methods will be used to analyze models based on prevalence and incidence data. The methods will go beyond the fixation on mean results and will incorporate variance and stochasticity. The class will introduce methods based on Markov chains, Markov chains with rewards, multistate matrix models, and matrix calculus. The new analyses will be compared, where possible, to traditional approaches.
Global perspectives on adaptive wildlife management
December 2018 / January 2019 / February 2019
An interdisciplinary 5 weeks course, comparing adaptive wildlife management in northern and southern hemisphere systems, including a 16-day field trip to South Africa (no course fee, application deadline 1 September 2018). The course will have three mandatory parts; Part I will be at SLU in Umeå (December 2018), Part II in South Africa (5 - 20 January 2019), and Part III again at SLU in Umeå (31 January - 1 February 2019).

 

Postgraduate courses organised by other Graduate Schools

Below, you can find the links to the course information pages of some of the graduate schools that PE&RC frequently co-organises courses with. Please go ahead and browse through their websites as well, to see whether there are any interesting courses organised by these graduate schools.

Links to other places where postgraduate courses are organised

We sometimes also receive suggestions from our members about places where they have found and/or attended interesting and high quality postgraduate courses. We list these suggestions here, just for people to browse through.

Online courses

Particularly for statistical or methodological courses, we see an added value in taking one or more online courses. We are currently not actively organising such courses ourselves, but you are generally referred to places like www.coursera.org for browsing through a very broad range of online courses. If you have doubts about the quality, applicability, or value of a certain online course for your development, we strongly urge you to check this with your supervisory team, but you are also most welcome to consult us for checking this.
